Awarded on:

February 5th, 1944

"This officer has taken part in very many sorties since being awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal. He is a navigator of exceptional ability and his record is one of outstanding success. On a recent occasion he was the navigator of the leading aircraft of a section detailed to attack a target in Northern France. When crossing the enemy coast the aircraft was badly damaged when hit by anti-aircraft fire. The pilot held to his course, however, and was guided to the target by Flying Officer Nolan with his usual accuracy.
This officer has displayed exceptional keenness and great devotion to duty."
